India's G-20 Presidency action-oriented: Modi
Says it’ll be inclusive, ambitious and decisive as the country is taking the charge at a time when the world is grappling with geo-political tensions, economic slowdown and rising food and energy prices
Bali: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India's G-20 Presidency will be inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented, noting that the country is taking the charge at a time when the world is grappling with geo-political tensions, economic slowdown and rising food and energy prices. India was handed over the Presidency of the influential bloc at the end of the two-day G-20 summit here which was hosted by Indonesia.
In his remarks at the closing ceremony of the summit, Modi said India will strive to ensure that the G-20 acts as a global 'prime mover' to envision new ideas and accelerate collective action over the next one year.
"India is taking charge of the G-20 at a time when the world is simultaneously grappling with geopolitical tensions, economic slowdown, rising food and energy prices, and the long-term ill-effects of the pandemic," Modi said. "At such a time, the world is looking at the G-20 with hope. Today, I want to assure that India's G-20 Presidency will be inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented," he said.
India will officially assume the G20 Presidency from December 1. The next G20 Leaders' Summit at the level of Heads of State/Government is scheduled to be held on September 9 and 10 in New Delhi.
